Give us a listen as a birthday present to me! 🎙️

Good news. Pure Gold is due next month. A collection of interviews I conducted as a journalist - ones whose memory I couldn’t shake off. Rudolf Nureyev, Eartha Kitt, Malcolm McLaren, Ralf Steadman, Josephine Hart .. and more. And some that didn’t go so well😆 Merrion Press

Happy publication day to PURE GOLD by Eamon Carr! Featuring interviews with stars like Jack Charlton, Eartha Kitt and Malcolm McLaren, this is a treasure trove that will remain with the reader long after the book is closed. Available in bookshops and online now! Eamon Carr

There might just be a tincture this evening …er… 🥳 (any excuse 😁)

Thanks to everyone who turned up for Books Upstairs #Dublin for Merrion Press launch of Pure Gold. Especially those who travelled distance. It was a super evening and as you can see I had a few people to thank for their support 😀
